Modern methods for air pollution monitoring

Abstract

The monitoring of basic pollutants (sulphur oxides, nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide, oxidants, hydrocarbons and particulate matter) to determine the air quality of a certain area is described. The performance of air monitoring by static, mechanized or automatic devices in point sensors and by remote and long-path sensors is discussed and further possibilities forecast. © 1975, Walter de Gruyter.
